GENERIC COSTUMED VILLAIN ROUND-UP 005

They're back! They're insufficiently interesting! They're costumed! For the fifth time! 


This fella is just a regular degular Nazi spy, but I like his confidence, even if Super Spy G-5 does wrangle him almost instantly. (Hit Comics 015, 1941)


These fellas are a rare example of subway pirates, who derail and loot in the New York underground. My delight in this is dampened somewhat by their habit of carrying off ladies for unspoken but surely unpleasant reasons - happily the Human Torch gets 'em pretty quickly. (Marvel Mystery Comics v1 013, 1940)


This here fellow is another Nazi, operating out of London. His plan to simultaneously turn the US against England by pinning the murder of a movie star on an Englishman and also enrich himself by making that Englishman his wealthy cousin is overturned by reporter 'Headline' Hunter. I do appreciate how grotesque his weird mask makes him look. 

If I was feeling a bit more generous some of these guys would get entries of their own under the name the Leader, but low-effort Nazi spies can be happy with a tag and go screw. (Captain America Comics 007, 1941)


This trio of bank robbers might not have made the cut if they weren't constantly hamming it up like this while battling Father Time. Mike, Mugsy, Other Guy: welcome to the club. (Captain America Comics 008, 1941)
